yo, so i ended my 2019 with a massive insecurity about my looks and it’s halfway 2020 and now my confidence are always at it’s highest peak and here’s why :

long ass thread ahead hehe.

so 2019’s ber months are literally the worst month for my insecurity. i’m pretty much acne prone and with stress and lack of sleep due to school, my face weren’t at it’s prettiest state. which is why i decided to go back to derma after 8 months of resting (hence the pic above)

so for about two months, i had 4 clean up sesh with my derma from cgh (that’s the part where my dra pricks and clean my face to avoid pimples to grow) it’s a little pricey but having supportive parents are huge help! i also started going back to using my soap and moisturiser ++

which is only available at the hospital. i also took oral meds (doxycycline) which first worsen my pimples so when december came,,, my face was THIS BAD

so before 2019 ended, i really found myself ugly with all those reddish and swollen pimples. on my last sesh for 2019, my doctor decided to use injections on me. from 5 injections in one sesh, to 8, to 12 until i couldn’t count anymore.

around 2-3 months of the injection sesh (i stopped the oral med at some point kasi hindi na ako tinutubuan masyado, my doctor gave me toner instead), my face got better and was on this condition before the lock down happened.

i was scheduled for my last injection sesh for late march before my doctor starts with the laser treatment for my scars and marks (it was pricey and mom was already saving for it) but since lock down happened, my sesh stopped and all i have with me were ++

my soap, toner and moisturiser (in why again can only be bought at the hospital), so without any sesh with my doctor,, my break out came back, destroying the confidence i was still building.

but then, i realized that I AM PRETTY ( promise hun, you are too!), the quarantine made me realize that it’s not the clear skin or glass skin that would make u look pretty. it’s that pretty smile of yours and the confidence in you as you pose for your pics or ++

the confidence in you to actually smile genuinely. nothing is more beyond the genuineness in you to actually feel pretty. it’s not the color of your skin, the shape of your body or the scars on your face that will decide whether you are pretty or not.

it’s not those mean people who calls you ugly for your scars and acnes or the people who calls you out for being fat that will decide whether you are beautiful or not. it will always be you, you who owns that face, you who owns that body.

don’t dwell to much on those negative people. surround yourself with love and positive people because that surely helps!!! having people around you that’s gonna boost your confidence whenever you post pics or simply when u feel insecure is a huge help!

very very thankful for ppl like ate @inmgbrl na never pumalya sa pag papaalala na ang ganda ko kapag nag uupload ako ng pics.

for friends like @chachiiiiabad @zxsxela @apollo_onse that would randomly drop comments like these on selfies i post, u are a huge help in boosting up my confidence. im forever grateful.

special mention to @sheynami for reminding me everyday that im pretty, beautiful or cute sa kahit anong gawin ko sksksks. you da best. mwa.

i have so many more people to be grateful abt but the point is having a support system from friends and others are huge impact.

but other than your support people, you should help yourself too.

glam up if that’s gonna help you feel more pretty. wear the cutest hoodie or the prettiest dress on ur wardrobe if that’s gonna help. do things that will help you boost your self confidence or make u feel pretty

so this is prolly the last for this thread. again, thank u to everyone who boosts me up like this.

and to everyone, you are pretty. you are sexy. you are amazing. in your own way. don’t let other people tell you the otherwise. people throw rocks at things that shine, so shine!
